LA to FA 2022

LA to FA 2022

Dear AlanM1,

You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here!

Thanks for your reply

Thanks for your reply
Re my comment of 2020-Aug-24 at " talk: Wayne Roberson, Austin, Texas", you asked about errors I mentioned but did not correct…these were minor, but nobody likes loose ends. Before I elaborate to you or proceed to fix those errors, I’ve tried to learn more about entering. But finding where to go within Wikipedia to learn how to do many things eludes me.

Much of my prior editing has been desultory: rephrasing for clarity, etc. Often I simply look into an "edit" screen to see how things are done.

Your experience as an editor is far beyond my knowledge, and you replied to me, so I am asking for help. I have an example problem that pertains to many things I would like to enter:

I cannot learn how to add to or revise the "References" section of an article. An example is "Fort Lancaster": all I see is on the "edit" screen is "==References==" then "{{Reflist}}".
